Welcome to Allocation Disorder Take 2 for this episode.

I'm Sam Staskell. He is Paul Tenorio and Paul's's computer crashed so we're you know recording this again i think

we got 10 minutes from the finish line and it was kind of a long it crashed after like 57 minutes

of record an entire episode essentially yeah so you know hopefully this one will be a little more streamlined

hopefully we will trim the fat and get straight to the good stuff although i will say the fatty part of the steak is kind of the good stuff.

But, you know, that's a personal preference.

You know what I'm saying?

You've got to have some marble on it, you know?

Yeah, exactly.

Love some marbling.

Love that.

Anyway, we have a lot to discuss on this show.

We are going to talk about some USM&T stuff, some potential way too premature, but maybe not so premature roster stuff for the World Cup.

We are going to talk about a little bit more about qualifying now that it's done, it's dusted.

The U.S. is going to Qatar.

Just some impressions and questions from the octagonal that was and the next seven months that will be before the U.S. is going to Qatar, just some impressions and questions from the octagonal that
